Online courses
Now only the lazy does not sell their webinars and online courses.
If we are talking about making money without investments, then we will not promote our product with advertising, but we will create a group in Contact or Instagram for free.
We will publish interesting materials and form a loyal community of people united by one hobby.
Then we can sell our webinars or courses to them.
This process is not fast, but earnings can be very decent.
For example, you have 1000 followers on Instagram (only these must be real followers, not bots). You offer them to buy your author's course for 5000 rubles.
Even if 10% of your audience buy the course, you will earn half a million rubles.
For whom: Are you well versed in some area, do you have information or experience that will be of interest to other people? Then urgently create groups in the social. networks.
affiliate marketing
This way to make money is similar to the previous one, you will also need a loyal audience, but you don’t have to compose courses and webinars.
Here is an example of my earnings under the IQoption affiliate program (options trading).
Blogger
Some people don't take blogging seriously and think it's just a hobby or entertainment.
In fact, if done right, blogging can become your primary job.
More food for thought:
YouTube star
YouTube can be a good source of income for you. You do not need to invest money in this business, only your time.
YouTube stars earn millions of rubles a month.
If you find this difficult, check out the FunToys Collector channel. The girl lives in Brazil, plays with dolls and toys on camera, doesn't even say anything - 11 million subscribers and earnings from 3 to 10 million dollars a year!
In this case, the main thing is the original idea.
Dropshipping
A business selling goods that works without investment or with minimal investment.
The bottom line is simple, you get a list of products from the online store, publish products on your website with your markup, receive an order, send the order data to the online store, the online store sends the order to the buyer, you get your markup.
In fact, you are not selling anything, but simply redirecting requests to the seller.
If you don't know how to make websites, it doesn't matter. An online store will be made for you with the ability to import a list of goods from suppliers for several thousand rubles.
If you don’t want to create your own store, they will set everything up for you and do it for free, just sell their products.
I described the whole process in more detail here - and this article describes an example of a ready-made business -
Recently I was looking for furniture, I decided to look at online stores in my city. Half of the sites are ordinary dropshippers, they do not have a warehouse, they do not deliver furniture around the city.
If someone wants to buy a product, they simply send a request to the manufacturer and he ships the product through delivery services to your city.
Simple scheme, take note.
web model
Specific job, not for everyone.
You need to communicate with customers through a special website. As far as to be frank, each model chooses for itself.
Our reader shared her experience in this area -
Her personal record of earning $84 per evening or more 800$ per month.
Another unusual way to earn money is to become a model of the Titigram service.
The client orders an inscription on the female breast, the model receives 150 rubles. The maximum earnings of the model amounted to 15,000 rubles. per day.
Phone operator
From the equipment you will need a computer with the Internet and a mobile phone.
In most cases, the work of the operator on the phone will be associated with the so-called cold calls, this is when you call and offer a product or service to people who did not ask you about it.
Because of this, very often you can run into rudeness. If you have a good tongue, you know how to communicate with people, you are not embarrassed by rudeness, then you should take a closer look at this way of earning.
His best earning record was 2490 rubles for one shift and 10750 rubles per week .
You can get a job in a bank, but your workplace will be at home on the phone. Moreover, you will receive official employment and career opportunities.
How to do this I described here -. Payment is promised up to 45 thousand rubles. per month, but beginners can count on 15-25 thousand rubles.
Writer
Nowadays, anyone can become a writer, and special services can publish on many book sites and even print your book.
Publication costs are very small:
Book publishing: cover design and photo, proofreading services ( 3000 rubles for everything).
Income depends on your writing talent. Here is an example of book sales statistics.
Elena Frolova shared her experience with us -
A great way to earn money for creative individuals. Who knows, maybe you will become the author of many bestsellers.
Earnings on Yandex.Zen
No need to create a website, no need to wait for visitors from search engines, no need to advertise. Yandex Zen will do all this for you.

Content manager
The essence of the work is to fill websites and online stores with content.
You will be given ready-made texts with pictures (you may have to look for the pictures yourself on the Internet), and you will need to publish them on the site through a content management system (CMS).
Break the text into paragraphs, make selections and lists.
Often online stores order such work. They need to add many product positions to the site. You will need to add photos and product descriptions.
You can learn this business in a couple of days. Nothing fancy, just like a text editor.
There is so much work. Here are a couple of vacancies from the freelance exchange FL.ru:

There is no specific list of duties for the administrator - it depends on the customer and skills.
